"The  Extra  Hymn-Book"  is  intended  to  be,  to  the 
hymn-books  already  in  use,  what  an  extra  newspaper  is 
to  the  regular  edition.  As  the  extra  newspaper  publishes 
news  received  or  invented  after  the  regular  edition  goes 
to  press,  so  this  little  book  contains  hymns  which  have 
been  made  or  brought  into  use  since  the  issue  of  most  of 
the  larger  Sunday-school  hymn-books  published  by  the 
denominational  and  union  publishing  houses.  This  book 
is  supplementary  to  them.  It  can  be  bound  with  them, 
or  fastened  in  the  back  of  them,  or  used  separately.  It 
brings  them  down  to  the  present  time.  It  is  made 
because  it  is  needed  and  has  been  loudly  called  for. 

During  the  past  few  years  the  Sunday-school  has  been 
inundated  with  a  vast  deluge  of  material  for  singing,  of 
various  degrees  of  merit  and  demerit  as  to  both  music 
and  words.  Gems  of  sacred  song  have  been  put  side  by 
side  with  crippled  rhymes  or  empty  ballads  ;  truly  devo- 
tional hymns  have  been  degraded  by  contact  with  senti- 
mental doggerel  whose  only  attraction  is  the  jingling  rej  e- 
tition  of  unmeaning  chorus.  Sunday-school  people  are 
awake  to  the  fact  that  children  can  and  will  sing.  Let 
us  also  be  awake  as  to  what  ought  to  be  sung.  Children 
will  sing  any  thing  they  are  taught,  unless  the  tune  is  too 
dismal.  They  will  sing  nonsense  as  eagerly  as  wisdom; 
trash,  as  earnestly  as  good  poetry;  deadly  error,  as  mu- 
sically as  saving  truth.  We  must  be  careful  to  give  them 
only  that  which  is  good.     We  must  teach  them  to  sing 

3 


A 


genuine  hymns  of  praise,  to  good  music,  and  to  sing 
them  well.  Thus  only  will  the  singing  be  acceptable  to 
G  >d.     Otherwise,  it  is  a  mockery. 

The  hymns  which  are  here  given  are  selected  as  the 
best  of  the  multitude  made  since  the  publication  of  the 
books  referred  to,  or  omitted  from  them.  They  are  as 
the  pearls  in  a  heap  of  pearl  oysters;  the  small  measure 
of  fine  wheat  in  many  bushels  of  chaff;  the  gold  coin  in 
the  pocket-full  of  keys  and  rusty  nails.  Every  one  of 
them  can  wisely  be  used  in  the  worship  of  the  Must  High 
God.  They  are  intended  especially  for  the  Sunday- 
school,  but  can  as  well  be  used  in  the  church  prayer-meet- 
ing, the  family,  the  closet,  the  camp,  or  the  battle-field. 

Reference  to  appropriate  music  is  annexed  to  most  of 
fie  hymns  of  unusual  metre.  The  hymns  from  "Sweet 
Singer"  are  used  by  permission  of  Messrs.  Carlton  and 
Porter,  and  those  from  "Golden  Chain"  and  "Golden 
Shower,"  by  permission  of  Win.  B.  Bradbury,  Esq. 

Sing.  Sing  with  all  your  might.  Sing,  not  merely  to 
make  a  great  noise;  nor  yet  only  to  make  fine  music. 
Sing  to  the  praise  of  the  God  who  so  loved  us  as  to  give 
h:s  only  Son  to  die  for  us.  And  let  every  word  we  sing 
bo  a  note  of  heartfelt  worship.  A  little  while,  and  we 
shall  be  done  with  the  infirmities  of  earthly  music.  If 
v.  •  love  God,  we  shall  be  admitted  to  where  there  is  not 
a  discordant  note,  or  an  incomplete  chord. 

"Pkaise  ye  the  Lord;  for  it  is  good  to  sing 
KkAisKS  unto  our  God."

'At  thy  right  hand  there  are  pleasures  for  ever- 
more."—Psalm  16,  11. 

1  A    BEAUTIFUL  land  by  faith  I  see, 
■*-*-  A  land  of  rest,  from  sorrow  free, 

The  home  of  the  ransomed,  blight  and  fair, 
And  beautiful  angels  too  are  there. 

2  That  beautiful  land,  the  City  of  Light, 
It  ne'er  has  known  the  shades  of  uight; 
The  glory  of  God,  the  light  of  day 
Hath  driven  the  darkness  far  away. 

3  In  vision  I  see  its  streets  of  gold, 
Its  beautiful  gates  I  too  behold, 
The  river  of  life,  the  crystal  sea, 
The  ambrosial  fruit  of  life's  fair  tree. 

i  The  heavenly  throng  arrayed  in  white. 
In  rapture  range  the  plains  of  light. 
In  one  harmonious  choir  they  praise 
Their  glorious  Saviour's  matchless  grace. 
Chorus.— Will  you  go? 

Go  to  that  beautiful  land  with  me  ? 
Will  you  go? 
Go  to  that  beautiful  laud?

Sliall  visit  thy  bed.

And  shadow  of  death.

Earnestly  is  longing.

Night  will  be  exchanged  for  morn,

All  for  which  we're  sighing, 
From  all  earthly  want  and  pain 

To  be  swiftly" flying.

In  his  Father's  kingdom.

We'll  fight  until  we  conquer, 
By  faith  and  humble  prayer.

High  up  in  endless  glory, 
He's  fitted  up  our  home.

The  teacher  and  scholar  shall  both  enter  in.

Be  our  earthly  dwelling-place: 
To  a  temple  high  and  holy

3  Come  and  welcome!  Lord,  how  is  it 

That  men  let  thee  knock  and  wait? 
Is  not  thine  a  prince's  visit? 
Is  not  theirs  a  prison-gate?

Will  to  angels  yet  make  known.

This  sinful  heart  of  mine, 
And  wash  it  clean  in  every  part: 
Make  me  a  child  of  thine. 

3  My  sins,  though  great,  thou  canst  forgive, 

For  thou  hast  died  for  me: 

Amazing  love!  Help  me,  O  God, 

Thine  own  dear  child  to  be. 

4  For  thou  hast  said,  ''Forbid  them  not: 

Let  children  come  to  me:"

TnE    EXTRA    HYMN-BOOK.

Whose  loving  words  have  told 
Of  Jesus,  the  Good  Shepherd, 
And  called  them  to  his  fold. 

2  And  wh?n  the  holy  morning

In  idleness  and  play. 
No  Sabbath-school  inviting 

Its  pleasant  doors  within, 
No  teacher's  voice  entreating 

To  leave  the  way  of  sin. 

3  I  wish  that  I  could  tell  them 

How  Jesus  came  to  die, 
When  he  for  little  children 

Left  his  bright  throne  on  high; 
And  all  the  sad,  sad  story 

Of  sorrow  which  he  bore. 
When  for  his  crown  of  glory 

A  crown  of  thorns  he  wore. 

4  And  so,  each  morn  and  evening, 

Whene'er  I  kneel  in  prayer, 
I'll  ask  the  gracious  Saviour 

To  send  his  gospel  there; 
That  in  the  glorious  city, 

In  which  he  dwells  above, 
We  all  may  sing  together 

Of  his  redeeming  love.

Blush  upon  the  sod; 
Get  up  early  !  while  all  nature 

Blesses  nature's  God.

Out  of  thy  pleasant  way.

Thy  tender  arm,  and  strong, 

The  weary  one  will  bear; 
And  thou  wilt  wash  me  clean, 
And  lead  to  pastures  green, 

Where  all  the  flowers  are  fair. 

4  Till,  from  the  soil  of  sin 
Cleansed  and  made  pure  within, 

Dear  Saviour,  whose  I  am, 
Thou  bringest  me  in  love 
To  thy  sweet  fold  above, 

A  little  snow-white  lamb.

Weak,  and  apt  to  stray; 
Saviour,  guide  and  keep  us 
In  the  heavenly  way. 

4  Save  us.  Lord,  from  sinning, 

Watch  us  day  by  day  : 

Help  us  now  to  love  thee, 

Take  our  sins  away. 

5  Then,  when  Jesus  calls  us 

To  our  heavenly  home, 
We  would  gladly 'answer, 
"Saviour,  Lord:  we  come!"

How  its  gentlest  whisper  makes  our  heart  rejoice! 
Even  when  it  chideth,  tender  is  its  tone ; 

None  but  he  shall  guide  us;  we  are  his  alone. 

3  Jesus  is  our  Shepherd  :  for  the  sheep  he  bled: 
Every  lamb  is  sprinkled  with  the  blood  he  shed ; 
Then  on  each  he  setteth  his  own  seer  - 

They  that  have  my  Spirit,  these,  saith  he,  are  mine.

Though  the  wolves  may  raven,  none  can  do  us  harm  ; 
When  we  tread  death's  valley,  dark  with  fearful  gloom, 
We  will  fear  no  evil,  victors' o'er  the  tomb.

Which  none  shall  take  away  from  me, 
Now,  nor  through  all  eternity.

"When  all  the  storms  of  life  are  past. 

4  Thus,  believing,  my  faith  and  love 
Abide,  though  heaven  and  earth  remove; 
And  storms  of  sorrow  cannot  drown 

My  soul,  thus  anchored  to  the  throne. 

5  Then  shall  I  rise  to  worlds  of  light, 
Where  faith  is  sweetly  lost  i:.

Then  would  encompass  me; 
Xow  I  can  look  to  thee: 

Thou  orderest  so.

Cheers  every  ill, —

Chooseth  the  way  I  take : 
Hi  who  can  ne'er  forsake 

Holds  mine  hand  still.

3  Oh,  what  a  glorious  shout  there'll  be 

When  we  arrive  at  home, 
Our  friends  and  Jesus  we  shall  see, 
And  God  shall  say,  "Well  done." 
Chorus.— Let  us  never  mind  the  scoffs  or  the  frowns  of 
the  world, 
For  we  all  have  the  cross  to  bear: 
It  will  only  make  the  crown  the  brighter  to 
shine. 
When  we  have  the  crown  to  wear.
